Текст песни
I tried to get with it
Because you were with it
And when I tried to quit it
You spit in my face
You made me believe
Something was wrong with me
Because I needed my own space
I was blown by your preachin'
Mesmerized by your teachin'
And you had me reachin'
For a dream that's not mine
And that's fine, just don't hate me
Or try to berate me
Now that my eyes are open
And I'm no longer blind
Originality is becoming such a fallacy
You keep tryin' to force me but you can't make me
Tried to be what you want of me
Tried to please what I could not see
Tried to curb the need to be free
But it ain't in me
Tried to fit into your role
Instead of reachin' for my goal
If the truth is to be told
It ain't in me
Can't make me believe
Some folk are better than others
Tryin' to achieve
Discord among my brothers
And it makes me grieve
To see us actin' crazy
'Cause somebody said
We'll always be lazy
It ain't in me to lift myself up to put somebody down
It ain't in me to get my laugh on to see somebody frown
It ain't in me to try to do the things you want me to do
To say the things you want me to say
To play the way you want me to play
Originality is becoming such a fallacy
You keep tryin' to force me but you can't make me
Why you be tryin' to make me do stuff that I don't wanna do?
(Especially if it ain't right)
I'm a grown man
(Yeah, I know that)
I know what's right for me
(I know how to talk to you)
There's a purpose, a goal, and a destiny for my life
(Now say that)
Not your life, you live your life
(Now say that)
You do you, and I'll do me
(Sure you're right)
